Chapter 45: Peaks and Mountains (5)

What kind of fresh air, what beautiful scenery, Gu Xiyan regretted it for a long time.

Yesterday afternoon, she followed Minde to Lingyun Hall, the highest palace in Qixia Temple. They sat in a sedan chair similar to a Sichuan slide bar, and walked on a rugged path that was secluded by pedestrians, with seven bends and eight turns, up and down, bumps and unevenness, and she was swung with meat and vegetables, and from time to time she should pay attention to the branches and leaves that stretched out around her, so as not to scratch her face. The heart has always been in the throat and has never fallen in the eyes. If he hadn't arrived at Lingyun Hall soon, Gu Xiyan would really have to wonder if this Minde had taken the opportunity to play some tricks.

When he arrived at Lingyun Palace, Gu Xiyan was even more disappointed. The so-called "built by the mountain", this mountain is just a small dirt slope, how can it be compared to the likes of Mount Tai Huashan that she once traveled, even Wudang Mountain is also 108,000 miles away. Standing on the top of the hillside, you can indeed watch Qixia carefully, but the other eight halls are scattered everywhere like illegal buildings, there is neither a certain order, nor a certain law, scattered, so that people can't find the north.

Gu Xiyan can be regarded as a relatively organized person, and after watching it for a long time, he didn't find the easiest route that didn't need to be repeated. If she and Duanniang walked through every hall according to her agreement, wouldn't it cost people's lives!

She couldn't help glaring at Minde angrily, not knowing if she was angry at her miscalculation, or angry at Minde, who inserted a lever into it and disrupted her plan.

Minde had a gentle attitude, ignoring Gu Xiyan's anger, and still pointed to the buildings that were like molds on the sand table under the shade of green trees: "...... The girl saw that the roof was paved with red tiles, and there was a turtle back statue of the great god of the heavens. It is said that the great god of the Manifestation Heaven passed by the source water one day. Seeing the flooding of the source water, the believers on the bank of the source water river were killed and injured, the great god of Xiantian sat cross-legged and made a wish to the sky, willing to sacrifice his own body to cross the water to the believers, and the heavens sensed the mercy of the great god of Xiantian and ordered a big turtle that had practiced in the South China Sea for tens of thousands of years to help the great god of Xiantian control the water...... The girl looked at the magnolia land open in front of the temple, and there was an image of the angry eyes of the great god of the heavens. It is said that the great god of Xiantian practiced in Lingnan Mountain one year, and met a tree spirit that had been practicing for thousands of years, and absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon for food. So that all the trees in the mountains of Lingnan are gradually dying, the young beasts die without food, and the inhabitants of the mountains have no way to live......" She chattered about those mythical stories, Gu Xiyan looked at Mama Tian coldly: "Mama is also the first time to hear this story?" ”

Mama Tian smiled and pointed to one of the very small and exquisite green tile halls and said: "There is the Blue Bird Palace, which is dedicated to the lotus statue of the great god of the heavens, and the girl is just going to ask for marriage......

"Exactly, exactly." Minde listened to Mama Tian's words, and immediately interrupted the introduction and interjected. "The Blue Bird Hall in our Qixia Temple is very effective, but it is not as good as the Junction Hall next to it. The knot hall is dedicated to the statue of the great god of Xiantian, Min Hui Niangniang came to Qixia to view the son is to worship the knot hall, and later really gave birth to Emperor Xiaozong. If the girl is interested, she can also go there and have a look......" Gu Xiyan was dumbfounded.

After doing it for a long time, this great god of heaven can take care of everything, not only can he be an old man, but he can also be Guanyin...... The ancestors of the Xia Kingdom were also too unimaginative...... However, it is too late to regret it now. In addition to Mo Ju and Mama Tian, there were also a few guards who were borrowed from the Liu family and said to be extraordinary.

Gu Xiyan sighed in his heart, took a deep breath, tried to calm his mind, and said, "These halls have their own characteristics, we will go to visit them one by one tomorrow." ”

At this moment, she was stunned and replaced by Mama Tian.

When it came to Minde, the smiling eyes narrowed into a slit, and Gu Xiyan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when she saw that smile. If it weren't for this folk virtue, how could things have come to this? Not to mention that I have backache all over my body now, I also messed up tomorrow's blind date. She said angrily, "Aunt Minde invited us up. Tea is not tea, water is not water, let's stand here and drink the northwest wind? ”

Minde immediately made a gesture of invitation to Gu Xiyan, and while taking Gu Xiyan towards a five-room hall not far away, he said, "When the girl talks about eating, we Qixia saw that there is something that can be handled. It's called a cookcake. It came from the imperial palace of the Taichu Dynasty five hundred years ago. I wrapped the noodles in a variety of fillings and put them in the stove. Crispy on the outside and fragrant on the inside......"

At this moment, Gu Xiyan didn't even want to speak.

What a cookcake. Then burn the cake. Isn't it the damn Li Chaoyang who brought it over!

If you are so capable, why do you bring such truly quintessential things, such as equality between men and women, such as equal pay for equal work...... It's not because he is also a man himself, and the three wives and four concubines just follow his wishes...... It has affected her, and she has ended up in such a situation today, thirteen or fourteen years old, which is the age of youth, but she has to go on a blind date secretly......

This anger did not dissipate until she hid in the wing room behind the Lingyun Palace, causing her to toss and turn in bed for most of the night, regretting it.

It was easy to wait until dawn, and she shouted to Mo Ju to bring her a mirror to see if there were dark circles on her face.

After eating breakfast in the Lingyun Palace, and incense was given to the statue of the Great God Shooting the Sun enshrined in the Lingyun Palace, they walked down the mountain surrounded by guards...... 1-6-K, Gu Xiyan wore a goose-yellow high-waisted pomegranate skirt for the image, and wore a silver-red embroidered high heel under her feet. The annoyance in her heart was even greater, and she stopped and stood there looking at the hall under the mountain, thinking to herself.

If Duan Niang and Jinxin made an appointment to drink tea in the Qingzhu Hall as discussed when they came, then they would have to rush to the Qingzhu Hall before noon; If Duanniang and Master Mei came to touch her, they would be able to meet halfway up the mountain as soon as they walked from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain in the morning......

Gu Xiyan pointed to a hall near the stone stairs halfway up the mountain and said, "Aunt Minde, let's go there first!" ”

Minde was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't the girl say that she wanted to swim to several halls?" ”

Gu Xiyan said in his heart: You think I'm a fool, I put a pillar of incense in that Lingyun Palace. You asked for two hundred taels of sesame oil money, and I went all the way down, nine halls, and none of them could finish with one thousand eight hundred taels...... Did you laugh so much yesterday!

Mama Tian estimated that she and Gu Xiyan thought of going quickly, and immediately responded: "Yes." Yes, yes. It is the Hall of Light, and inside it is the three-eyed image of the great god of the heavens, which means to open the eyes of the heavens. Foresight is the energy of the past and the afterlife. The girl went there to say goodbye and blessed her wishes in the future......"

Two votes to one.

Gu Xiyan walked quickly down the mountain.

After a while, the Hall of Light arrived.

In front of the bright hall is paved with a large stone block, in the middle of the five halls, the hall is dedicated to the three-eyed image of the great god of the heavens, the gold is the body, the gem is the eye, there are three floors as high, the face is like the full moon, the face is kind. There is an eye parallel to the other two eyes in the center of the forehead, the hands are folded, four arms are stretched out from the left and right behind the back, and there is a look in the middle of the palm, which looks solemn and brilliant. In front of him were placed offering tables, incense burners, candlesticks and other things, cigarettes curled, and on the eaves of the ground in front of the god hung a two-meter-diameter iron basin, which was lit with a finger-thick wick.

Maybe it's because they came early. There were only a few middle-aged men scattered in the main hall, respectfully incense the eyes of the great god of the heavens.

Gu Xiyan also put on a pillar of incense, and Minde asked Mama Tian for two hundred taels of silver for sesame oil.

Gu Xiyan saw that there were halls leading to the back on the left and right sides, so he walked to the back casually, and Mama Tian and Mo Ju were incense to the great gods of the heavens, and they were one step behind.

She went out of the hall and found that there was a Danqi behind her, in the middle of which was an incense burner about a person high, and at the end there was a small single hall, and the four flowers were still open. There was a faint figure inside, bowing there.

Gu Xiyan walked in curiously.

In the main hall is another image of the three-eyed statue of Xiantian, much smaller than the one outside, about the same height as her, as if it was carved from sandalwood or agarwood, black and painted. The idol holds a sword in his left hand and a shield in his right hand. The face is hideous. The eye on the forehead is not parallel to the other two eyes, but vertical. Makes the face of the idol look terrifying. There was also a man kneeling on the black mat and bowing his head in prayer in front of the incense table in front of him, with a very devout attitude.

Gu Xiyan was attracted by the statue, and couldn't help but walk to the incense table to take a closer look at the statue.

Just as he was in the middle of this, the man who was bowing his head and praying in front of the incense desk suddenly raised his head and stood up.

Gu Xiyan was like a thunderbolt.

Wheat-colored skin, resolute countenance, deep facial features, sharp eyes, thin lips pursed, and a momentum as hard and sharp as a rock sword...... It turned out to be Gu Xiyan, when he first crossed into this world, he saw the man chasing his wife in the Xiangyu Pavilion.

He was still dressed in a straight-fitting robe of soft satin in crow blue, and his posture was as straight as a birch tree in the field, but he was thinner than when he had seen him last summer, his expression was colder, and his face was pale. When I looked closely, I realized that his jet-black sideburns had the hoarfrost of stars.

His bright and sharp eyes glanced at Gu Xiyan deeply, and then he quickly turned around and walked out of the main hall.

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but turn around and chase after him.

After chasing two steps, he stopped again.

Can't she still go up and say "hi", and others don't know her!

Did you also introduce yourself: "I'm so-and-so, I hid in the Xiangyu Pavilion last summer and saw something, are you okay?" I've been paying attention to the news of your wife and lover, they seem to be married and doing well, what about you, are you married, are the children okay......

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but be a little discouraged.

I'm afraid that this man will slap him when he hears it, plus a sentence of "I want you to be nosy". But not necessarily, seeing that he can deal with things rationally in the face of his rival, maybe he won't say anything, just look at her coldly and turn around and leave...... Just like just now.

Gu Xiyan looked at the man's straight back and thought wildly.

I don't know what he came to Qixiaguan for?

Could it be that the wife came to feel nostalgic for the first anniversary of her departure!

Looking at his haggard appearance, I don't know how sad he is this year, and how he has survived?
